Holly Marie Combs: "Charming" New Mom
Feb 9, 2005 - Lynn Barker
She's one of the "Charmed Ones", three good Wiccan sisters who battle demons while still trying to lead semi-normal lives. New mom Holly Marie Combs mirrors her character Piper Halliwell by creating a family although Holly doesn't have a "White Lighter" for a hubby or two magical boys to raise. She has one boy Finley Arthur Donoho, born last April and a "normal" hubby David Donoho who was a crew member on her "Charmed" set.
When we visited Paramount Studios earlier this month to celebrate the 150th episode of the series as well as the release of the DVD of the first season's episodes, we got to watch pretty Holly showing off Finley in "mom-mode" and as a sexy third of the successful sister trio when she helped fellow actors Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan cut a huge celebration cake.
After the cake munching, press members got to chat with the cast of "Charmed" on the attic set of their San Francisco manor house. We were warned not to get any cake crumbs in the Book of Shadows as we sat down with Holly, who walked in wearing jeans, black tank and brown jacket and carrying a big vanilla latte which she explained that she needed as the sleep-deprived mom of a 10 month old.
TeenTelevision: What has having a baby done to change you?
Holly: It's changed just about everything about my life. It definitely puts everything in perspective. Things that were so important to you mean absolutely nothing and the status of his diaper means absolutely everything.
